Gale's Topic Finder helps you visualize connections between search terms and topics and view relevant articles for those topics. This tool takes the titles, subjects, and approximately the first 100 words from a subset of your top results and feeds them into an algorithm. Keywords shown in the graphics are those found most often in the text with your search term. For Tiles Visualization, the bigger the tile and the darker the color represents, the more significant words and subjects for your Search Terms. For Wheel Visualization, the inner larger wedges represent the more significant subjects or Search Terms. The outer and expandable spokes represent specific topics or documents containing that subject or term.
Let’s take a look at one of the results in our search. As you can see below we can see the TITLE, AUTHOR, and SOURCE of the article. 
Click on the article TITLE to see more detailed information. Again, you can see the TITLE, AUTHOR, and SOURCE. By clicking the blue hyperlinks, users can search articles by the same author, Publication Index, related articles, and subject. In addition, you can now view the ABSTRACT. An ABSTRACT is a brief summary of the article, allowing you to see what the article is about without reading the whole thing. To access the article, click on the FULL TEXT icon on the top right of the page.
